When they trade John Danks to the Yankees for Gary Sanchez and other prospects.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) That would be a gigantic haul. No way that happens. If Danks gets moved, it may be similar to what we got back for Javy Vasquez I don't think is that gigantic, you're giving me 16 year olds who may never reach the major leagues for a proven major leauge pitcher plus you're too prospect. How bout the Sox send the Yankees Danks and the Sox get back Sanchez and two of those intl prospects.

For Danka, I would want back Gary Sanchez and maybe three of the INTL guys that they just signed, specifically Juan De Leon, Jonathan Amundary and Dermis Garcia and cash considerations.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Indifferent because I think Coop controls the pitching staff. I just can't imagine Coop not speaking up if he thinks Robin is handling the staff wrong. Robin is an ex hitter, Coop is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the league, really think it's his call out there. Danks has always been a workhorse and he just had one of his best games ever against a damn good Angels team. QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Robin is just a disgrace.. It is not Robin's fault that the team can not score more than 2 runs in a game. And if Robin is the manager of the ball club than he has final say over everything, Cooper's job is to coach the pitching staff under Robin's supervision, not to make decisions. John Danks should have gotten the win tonight, and Robin didnt make a mistake by keeping him out there. If you want to blame anyone for giving away that lead, you should blame the team's offense. However the Sox win and you're point is invalid.

I called that HR by the way. That was a solid effort by Danks who has been pitching really well as of late, if I were Rick Hahn would put him on the trading block and try to move him at the deadline. There will be a team that will miss out on both Price and Samardzija at the deadline and they'll get desperate for pitching and will be willing to offer a lot for Danks.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 09:14 PM) Depends on if they can somehow trade Dunn. If he goes, they can DH Gillaspie and probably put him at 1B too. For now, I'm glad Davidson is hitting some in AAA. Maybe in 4 weeks, he'll be ready. Its the Jim Thome effect. I would promote Davidson in a month's time assuming he is still putting up solid numbers and I would move Gillapse to LF.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) BACK OFF, BRO. Calm down, calm down. However, he might be the smartest draft pick the Sox have made in a while.

I want to ask this to you guys as Connor is at the plate. If Davidson continues on the tear he is on at Charlotte, do you call him up to be the guy at third. What do you do with Connor?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) Trey is 1-2 with a 2B so far. Since June 1st, he has 7 HR and is hitting .340. He has gotten better every single month this season. If he can cut down on those K's significantly in July, I'd be for a promotion to W-S. Without a doubt, my favorite prospect in the system.

Not a fan of the idea of an international draft, I think that there is nothing wrong with the system that is in place.

Good haul for the White Sox this year, who are becoming major players international market thanks to Marco Paddy and his staff of scouts in Latin America, which is one of the moves that I think brought the team into the 21st century in terms of player development side of things. The team spread their money around and signed 4 players with high ceilings which brings more talent to the farm and they still have close to a million dollars left to spend. Yeah I would love to see the Sox splurge on guys like Micker Adolfo or Gilber Lara (Who went for $3.1 Million with the Brewers and who I believe to have been the best player available.) every year, but I liked that they were able to spread their money out and bring in a group of solid players instead of bringing in one elite player and a bunch of lower level prospects and they're probably going to sign a couple of those low tier guys with that remaining $923,000. Very good haul this year, and the future of the team continues to look brighter.

I think Robin has done a terrific job as manager and that the futility of the team makes him look worse than he is as a manager, which makes him under rated in my opinion. The White Sox are going through a rebuilding phase and I think Robin is the right manager to guide the team through it, and I think he'll be the manager when the team is ready to compete.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 07:25 PM) There will be an international draft in the not too distant future, but until then we'll have to suffer through high revenue teams like the Yankees playing the system unfortunately. It completely makes sense why the Yankees are doing this, just sucks that they're doing it for the first time when we have a huge bonus allotment. An international draft is a terrible idea. I love how success is determined in the INTL by who can scout talent better, I believe that Starlin Castro was signed for $ 50,000. He was an under the radar prospect that the Cubs found and developed into a superstar. An international draft would completely kill that competitive nature in my opinon.

QUOTE (shoeless_joe21 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) Adolfo wastes no time in proving he's embraced the organization's hitting philosophy by striking out in his first AB. He also walked.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) The Yankees pretty much want to sign all of the best guys this period, and will just have a down signing period the following year. They will be capped on what they can offer international prospects next year I believe. I'm at work and not able to do the research, but it's something like they can't offer a prospect more than $200,000. The Cubs have stipulations like that this signing period because of their overages last year. You're right, I just wish the punishment was more severe.

If the Yankees want to spend over budget go ahead, but I hope they get the most severe punishment to send a message.

Trade Gordon while he's still hot at the plate. Nice hit against Verlander though, even better because it's front of Kate Upton. I was thinking of who some trade partner could be and I thought of San Francisco, Toronto, Baltimore and maybe the Dodgers who can trade for Gordon and move Dee Gordon to SS and Hanley at 3B.

Matt Davidson would be cool

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 10:44 PM) That's one of the worst lists I've seen. How Davidson, Sanchez, Montas, Ravelo, Trey isn't on that list is bad. I honestly forgot that Davidson existed I'll put him at 6 and remove Johnson and I am not big on Sanchez. Montas would be 10, although I am not familiar with him at all.

1. Rodon 2. Adams 3. Danish 4. Hawkins 5. Anderson 6. Johnson 7. Beck 8. Adolfo 9. Castillo 10. May I went with two wild cards at 8 and 9 but not without solid reasoning. I think that Micker will be a top 5 prospect maybe even top three when the season is over. I like his ceiling too much and he has elite power and bat speed according to the scouting reports and I like that combo too much. With Castillo when the Sox signed him in 2012, the word on the street was that he had a advanced feel for hitting and power, I can not wait to see him play for the AZL team this year. Adams is very projectable and I think that he will add more velocity and develop into a solid front of the rotation starter for the Sox down the line. The same goes for Danish who had a solid outing the Sox this week.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) Round 6 White Sox select CF Louie Lechich San Diego Is it just me or is it apparent that the Sox are just drafting college players who will sign below slot, so they can have more to spend on Rodon and Adams?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) I feel like 'JJ's have high MLB success. He was ahead of Reetz at some publications

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) To me, they didn't like any real players at 4, so they took best bat available as a trade chip. Schwarber will probably be good, but he'll likely be a really good trade chip too (though he may eat himself into a DH position). But the rest of the draft has been bizarre. I would have imagined a bunch of lottery tickets but this just looks like saving money on the draft this year. If I were Theo I would have drafted Jeff Hoffman and sign under slot and draft best pitcher on the board for the next four rounds, giving me some much needed pitching depth.

Lets hope some of these guys fall to the Sox: Keith Weisenberg - RHP Micheal Cantu - 1B/C/3B JJ Schwarz - C Bryce Montes de Oca - RHP David Peterson - LHP Kel Johnson - OF

That is a great pick by the Sox with Spencer Adams, who should have been a first round pick in my opinion. He projects to be a front of the rotation guy and he can be something special with his plus stuff.
